GDB (GNU Debugger) is very well suited in scenarios when the program has core dumped and a core file is generated. In such a case, the only tool that comes to my mind and can help diagnose such a core dump is GDB (GNU Debugger). GDB (GNU Debugger) is the best tool for debugging core dumps in *nix platforms. This will not be suitable for those who are very new to *nix platforms or who are earlier users of Windows platforms, as there is not any sort of GUI display or window here

ReSharper is suitable for all legacy and new projects. It helps keep the code clean, short and understandable. The color codes help you quickly identify what you are looking for, and the shortcuts are the best. While Visual Studio made progress on these points on its own, it seems to me that ReSharper has a lot to offer. Today it happens to me that I can't think of another productivity tool without thinking of ReSharper first.

Jira is an alternative for GDB (GNU Debugger) in bug tracking department. When compared to GDB (GNU Debugger), Jira is more expensive to initially buy.
